Political

    Chris Christie’s long embrace of President Obama and his dis of Rob Astorino’s effort to upseat Governor Cuomo should be the kiss of death of his 2016 run for the Presidency.  We should expect the person who wants to be at the top of the Republican ticket to support strong  Republican’s under that ticket especially those that are right over the bridge. I hope I don’t get into any traffic problems this morning. There’s still time (a few hours) Governor for you to change our minds by not shutting up and loudly supporting Rob Astorino for Governor.  This way we can see whether you’re worthy of moving to a different house in 2016.

Imagine the shock to the political system if Rob Astorino is able to pull off the biggest upset in political history by defeating King Cuomo. While the pollsters have already decided this race not one New Yorker (except absentee voters) have actually gone out and voted. We can  make those pollsters have to look for a new course of work and more importantly put NY on a new course of true hope and change if Mr. Astorino becomes our next Governor.   A path full of growth in our economic might that has new higher paying jobs for the people instead of the corrupt politician. A path that brings all New Yorkers together not looks to divide and conquer us.  So tomorrow I ask that you turn the political establishment upside down and elect Rob Astorino as a Governor for all the people that make up this great state called NY.

Every year those with means utilize political lies to destroy any challenger who might dare to come in their ring. There needs to be a way for the truth to come out in a timely basis so that the voter can receive accurate information and make an informed decision on election day. “The Political Truth” is such a source as those who feel that they have been wronged can bring their complaint to this panel made up individuals from various political beliefs and integrity. If they deem that this add is inaccurate or false they will run a counter ad stating the truth in the same format that the false ad was initially put in. This  ad will be paid for by the candidate who ran the false ad in the first place. Insuring that candidates with means be careful about smearing their opponent and allowing the voters to truly hear issue related campaigns instead of political smear attacks.

In yesterday’s blog I suggested that the campaigns to support moderate Republicrats (G-D forbid) might be the cause of the Republicans losing the Senate now I follow the money trail. As exorbitant monies are being spent to keep these individuals like Pat Roberts and Mitch McConnell in their seats monies are being drained in races that could not only changed the Senate but created incredible upsets (see below). More significantly monies are also being drained that could have enabled the Conservative message to reach out to build it’s base in minority communities as well as the youth vote which is key for 2016 Presidential Election.

Minnesota Senate Race- Franken vs McFadden- Franken only leads by 9 points.

Virginia Senate Race- Warner Vs Gillespie – Warner only leads by 10 to 12 points

NJ Senate Race- Bell Vs Booker – Booker only leads by 12 points

Michigan Senate Seat- Peters vs Land- Peters only leads by 14 points

If the Republicans don’t take control of the Senate (G-D forbid) you can blame the Republicrats or Moderates for the loss. The states that are too close to call are the states where it should be a runaway win for the Republicans but moderates were left to fight those battles like Mitch Mcconnell (the bird man) and Pat Roberts (the boring man). These individuals and others faced Tea Party principled challengers in the Republican Primaries and if those individuals won instead of this bore feast the road to Senate majority would have been a lot smoother.  People want to vote between Peanut Butter and Jelly not Peanut Butter and Almond Spread.

   If the Federal Government won’t take the necessary precautions to prevent Ebola from infecting it’s citizens then the State Governor’s must act.  The passengers that are coming from either Sierra Leona or Liberia must be thoroughly screened and even quarantined (for the 2 week incubation period) if necessary by the Governors before being able to enter that state. I’m sure there are other ways that this virus might spread but at least the most obvious way will be avoided.

Today we should offer those who would delay receiving social security  larger monthly payments depending on what age they decide they would need them past 65 years old. We should also allow those with higher incomes to invest a larger portion of their monies tax deductible for retirement in return for receiving a nominal portion of their social security benefits upon retirement.  This way we could leave more money in the system for those who have already retired and at the same time allow the system to have additional monies for the future.
